Critical reception
Allmovie called it "wafer-thin comedy"; and The New York Times called it "a mild but tasty distillate." Picture Show magazine found it "well acted against a delightful background of English scenery, beautifully photographed", and the film's executive producer John Grierson described it as "a sweet lemon of a picture" with a feel of "old oak and seaweed".
